How to remove GMT+5:30 format from specific date time?

Question

Hi All, 
 I am facing an issue when I'm trying to add hours to the specific time using caladdhours() function. But by defalut it is adding GMT+5:30 to my time. 
 For example: 
 Here startdate of datetime type and value is todatetime("01/1/2019 11:07 AM GMT") 
 and I'm adding two hours to the above mentioned startdate. 
 caladdhours(datetime(year(ri!startdate),month(ri!startdate),day(ri!startdate),hour(ri!startdate),minute(ri!startdate),second(ri!startdate)),2)) 
 when I use the above function in text component, it is giving me the result as the below screen shot. It is simply adding even +5:30 to my time. 
 
 Please suggest the solution to the above mentioned issue. 
 
 Thanks & Regards, 
 Sravani Sarvasiddi.

Hi, 
 
I think it might be related with your server and clients settings. What do you get when you do a call to now() ? 
 
GMT +5:30 is just the time zone, not an addition done to the time you calculated.

Hi Sravani, 
 Try this gmt(caladdhours(datetime(year(ri!startdate),month(ri!startdate),day(ri!startdate),hour(ri!startdate),minute(ri!startdate),second(ri!startdate)),2),"GMT-05:30") 
 If this doesn't work check what is time difference between current time and result given by now(). 
 Thanks

What did now() give you? 
 
 Check on Appian Administration Console "Primary time Zone". Check with "always override user selected time" and try now as well.
